Quick water pump question
I did some research and my weep hole is weeping...pun intended. I read that when rebuilding these units you need to get the shaft and bearings pressed in to a precise measurement. Might sound dumb but can I dissemble the unit or take off the entire case and take it to honda shop? (Don't trust the local guy I go to)

Or do it yourself Or send it to someone to do it for you |

Yes you can take the assembly off and have a shop do the work.

You need to take the engine cover off. The water pump impeller is pressed into the cover. Download the Superhawk manual here and take a look at what is involved before delving into it, or if you dont already have one and want an actual paperback manual, thedeatons is selling one for a decent price in the classifieds.

Just sold my manual. THANK YOU FOR THE PLUG THOUGH!!!! :):):)
Water pump seals are easy. Try it! I use sockets as a "press" and gently tap the new seals in using the back of the socket and a light hammer. Very satisfying to do it yourself :) James |

Absolutely Take the cover off, drop it off at a reputable shop, pick it up in a few hours If they don't do it on the spot) pay an hour or less in labor, go home and install the cover with a new gasket and be back riding in minutes. |
Install an electric water pump and never worry again!
Just a thought! |
